Implications and challenges for the energy sector in Brazil and Mexico to meet the carbon emission reductions committed in their INDC during the COP 21-CMP11

This research paper examines the energy sector challenges and policy requirements for Brazil and Mexico to meet their carbon emission reduction targets committed during COP 21-CMP11.

• Brazil and Mexico have committed to reducing their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 43% and 40% respectively by 2030, despite each contributing only 1% to global emissions.
• Meeting these emission goals requires a combination of technical innovations, cleaner energy sources, active cross-sector participation, and significant changes to national energy policies.
• The implementation of renewable energy across different sectors is identified as a means to achieve COP21-CMP11 commitments while potentially providing economic benefits and energy sovereignty for both nations.
